   Major Peters reports six trains employed in transporting cotton to Wilmington, all east of Savannah River -- four of the Nashville & Chattanooga road, one of the Augusta and Atlanta road {the Georgia RR}, and one of the East Tennessee & Georgia road. If you will have them sent to the roads that supply this army it can be supplied.
